Confused by a phone call!?!?!
13 years ago
Wall of text warning! :
About 15mins ago I hear my mom call my name saying phone is for me. I pick up and some guy says "Oh you've qualified for a Walt Disney sponsored all inclusive trip to Florida, Daytona Beach and Bahamas." ~Now usually I dont even get this far before hanging up but I was confused since I had been asked for specifically and it wasn't a recorded message~ Well he continues to explain everything saying things like "Ohhh your gonna have a wonderful time... are you gonna do this... have you ever done that... etc" i reply with hesitant replies of "sure... yeh...I guess..."
still in a bit of a daze trying to figure out if it's real or fake or what the hell is going on, I get transferred to the 2nd person, guy or girl i'm not too sure but they were confirming information to make sure they were talking to the right person. They knew my address, phone number, an old Shaw webmail i have but don't use often, they knew what my credit card started with and the last 4 digits like perfectly. Now at this point I'm thinking ok i've gone this far might as well get to the bottom of this. he/she's like ok now read out your credit card number and we'll send the travel package right over to you, you only have to pay $576 for two adult cover charge and your guaranteed for a year to travel when you want for this 18 day trip or whatever.
Now there was no way in hell im giving my credit card out especially if I have to pay for something I apparently qualified for. Now I dunno why I just didnt hang up but I'm like "theres no way I can pay this since I'm going to school and tuition's expensive.." "Oh but your credit card says it'll be accepted, so just start from the left and read right your 16 digit number..." (I have a 1000$ dollar limit on it so yes it would have but I still have to watermeloning pay it you asshat...) and wouldn't take no for an answer like four times and that's when I hung up....
So that's my little weird event of the day, now what the watermelon just happend, I'm still confused....
Strangest phone call, sales award package nomination thing I've ever had...

I would call the bank/company that your card is from and have them cancel it and request a new card. Just to be safe!!!
